RW, > Should workers be the only one's without 'special interests'?

It's amazing how everything is so black-n-white to you.

Who said workers should not have any "special interests"? That's their way of participating in the political process where otherwise they would be powerless to influence anything.

The problems occur when politicians pay too much attention to said special interests at the expense of the rest of their constituents. That's when they break out the old rhetoric, "What's good for unions is good for America," even though that's no longer true.

Face it, unions are nothing more than special interest groups, for better or for worse.

For workers, yes. Should workers be the only one's without 'special interests'?

Yes, because they undermine corp. profits and corp. profits are king.
